At Adhesivas Ibi, we are moving steadily toward a more sustainable future. Since 2023, we have been calculating our Carbon Footprint to measure, manage, and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. This effort translates into concrete improvements in materials, processes, and internal control, reinforcing our commitment to leading the sector with responsible practices.
Our approach: measure, analyze and act
- We measure emissions to identify real reduction levers.
- We analyze production and consumption data to prioritize high-impact actions.
- We work with projects that balance product quality and environmental responsibility.
1) More sustainable adhesives
- We work with formulations that reduce harmful substances:
- Water-based and low VOC, reducing emissions and solvent exposure.
- Bio-based options when technically and commercially feasible.
- Continuous online performance evaluation (adhesion, tack, strength) to ensure quality and safety.
2) Energy efficiency and
renewable energies
We reduce the energy per label produced by:
- Optimizing equipment and drying/curing curves.
- LED lighting and efficiency-oriented preventative maintenance.
- Technologies that are less dependent on solvents.
- Prioritizing renewable sources whenever possible
3) Circular economy and responsible waste management
- We minimize waste and extend the useful life of materials:
- Recycling surplus materials and reusing raw materials when technically feasible.
- Improving reel utilization and reducing waste.
- Procedures based on circular economy best practices for paper, liners, and films.
4) Monitoring, control, and continuous improvement
- Sustainability requires a system, not just projects:
- Systems for tracking consumption, losses, and environmental KPIs.
- Operations aligned with environmental standards (e.g., ISO 14001).
- Periodic reviews and internal training to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
What it means for your brand
- Consistent quality and process traceability.
- Materials and adhesives with a better environmental profile while maintaining performance.
- A supplier that measures, reports, and improves year after year.
Next steps in our plan
Consolidate the 2023 baseline and continue monitoring indicators.
Expand efficiency projects on critical machines.
Evaluate new substrate and liner options with lower impact.
At Adhesivas Ibi, we believe that innovation is measured by quality and responsibility. Every technical decision seeks a label with an increasingly lower carbon footprint.
